It is the intent of the Town Board to establish an Official Map for the purpose of serving and promoting the public health, safety, economy, orderliness, and general welfare of the community; to further the orderly layout and use of land; to stabilize the location of real property boundary lines; to ensure proper legal descriptions and proper boundary lines; to facilitate adequate provision for transportation, parks, playgrounds, and stormwater drainage; and to facilitate the further subdivision of large tracts into smaller parcels of land.
This chapter is enacted under authority granted by § 62.23(6), Wis. Stats.
